- EL SISTEMA DE FALLA NAVARRO: DESPLAZAMIENTOS IZQUIERDOS A LO LARGO DEL CINTURÓN DEFORMADO DEL CENTRO DE COSTA RICA Walter Montero Lepolt Linkimer Wilfredo Rojas Geología seismicity Costa Rica neotectonics Morphotectonics structural geology In this study the Navarro Fault System is defined based on geologic, geomorphologic, and seismological observations. This fault system is located between the northern slopes of the Talamanca cordillera and the southern and southeastern slopes of the Irazu and Turrialba volcanoes and is characterized by left-lateral displacements. The Navarro fault system trends between east-west and northeast-southwest and includes the following fault segments: Tarrazu, Navarro, Cachi, Urasca, Paraiso, and Maravilla. There are two transtensional structures along the fault system: the step over Estrella and the Ujarras tectonic depression. Earthquakes during 1973-2015 were relocated illuminating the fault segments of the southwest portion of the system. The focal mechanisms calculated mainly correspond to strike-slip faults in agreement with morphotectonic observations. 2016 artículo científico 0256-7024 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45449039003 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=454 Revista Geológica de América Central application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista Geológica de América Central (Costa Rica) Num.55
